1. A LOT of knowledge in PHP, HTML, CSS, etc., and preferably a really good server... so probably some money. Some people to check for bugs wouldn't hurt. Probably some other stuff... it'd be best to ask someone else in case there really is more. 2. Chances are your ISP doesn't host websites (maybe its own). Try looking here.

Most internet servers give you some free web page space. I use RoadRunner cable, and they provide subscribers a free website with 50 GB storage space. It's pretty pedestrian, but it can serve a purpose. However, if you are wanting to host sites for others you might consider setting up an unused computer and converting it to a server, in effect, becoming your own web host. There are docs on the web that you can google that will tell you how to do that. |

50 GB or 50 MB? Because Sympatico only gives 50mb, but I am certain that they do give that at least. Anyways, Dreamweaver really has nothing to do with a functionable website, that will just give you a direct website to post information on, or show stuff, etc. It's direct HTML which gives no options for users, for that you need excessive knowledge of other web programming languages, like PHP or ASP. But at any cost, it will cost you money to get a server. |

As it has been said, you will need your own server. By suggesting dreamweaver, I am guessing you probably don't have much experience in the heavy weight programming languages, and probably little experience with the light weight ones like javascript and html, so this might not be something you want to do yet. |
